The sci-fi action franchise, which focused on time-traveling cyborgs and their power to change the future, catapulted Schwarzenegger and director James Cameron to stardom. The original Terminator was followed by Terminator 2: Judgment Day in 1991, Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines in 2003, and Terminator Salvation in 2009. A spinoff TV series, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, featured Lena Headey as Sarah Connor and Thomas Dekker as John Connor.

As for the Terminator Genysis plot, time travel would still be the predominant theme. Fans will see two T-800 robots: a younger version controlled by Skynet, and an older T-800 which will make an appearance in the movie's exciting climax.

Terminator Genysis is directed by Alan Taylor and is co-written by Laeta Kalogridis and Patrick Lussier.
